'The vaccine we all wear' In @science.org , Postdoc @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social writes about her work in Institute Scholar @mfgrp.bsky.social lab exploring the possibility of non-invasive topical vaccines that could be applied directly to the skin: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Congrats @cmcclune.bsky.social and the rest of the team!

It’s truly an honor to receive this year’s @science.org Noster Microbiome prize. Here’s my essay on how we can engineer skin microbes to build topical vaccines:

So thankful being able to work with you!

Scientists turned a harmless skin bacterium into a powerful vaccine delivery tool, boosting immunity in the lungs and nose. @mfgrp.bsky.social @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social @nature.com t.co/xXXCJx5VYm #ImmunoSky 🧪

A commensal bacterium triggers systemic antibody responses via skin lymphoid structures and can be engineered as a topical vaccine – great therapeutic potential! Two studies in @nature.com.web.brid.gy by the Fischbach and Belkaid labs tinyurl.com/5yahn47t tinyurl.com/4n4btxap

Two fascinating papers just out in Nature @natureportfolio.bsky.social: www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check out our last pub. from @mfgrp.bsky.social al lab! We discovered that skin commensal microbes induce systemic and local B cell responses upon colonization and took advantage of this knowledge to create topical vaccines using engineered skin microbes. Please read the thread for details.
